IND vs SA Team Analysis

India

Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the Indian team in the upcoming match. The onus will be on the captain to lead the team from the front. With the series on line, Suryakumar will be hoping to score big.

South Africa

South Africa captain Aiden Markram has had a disappointing outing with the bat in the series so far. He did get a start in the third T20I but could not convert it into a big score. The onus will be on him to lead his team from the front in the do-or-die clash.

IND vs SA Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The fourth IND vs SA T20I will be played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. While the surface will be providing ample pace and bounce for the bowlers, the batsmen have traditionally found the venue very suitable for shot making.

The average first innings total at the venue is 174 and the batsmen from both the teams will be looking to make the most of the conditions.

Form and Fitness

All the players in both squads are fit and available for the upcoming fourth IND vs SA T20I.

Tactical Acumen

India - Conditions and oppositions have mattered very little for Team India in T20Is this year. The Men in Blue have won 23 of the 25 T20Is that they have played so far. With momentum firmly with them, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side will be eyeing another win.

South Africa - Home advantage has counted for very little for South Africa in the ongoing series. The hosts will be hoping that the conditions prove beneficial for them in the upcoming game so that they can beat the reigning world champions and draw the series.
